Within these pages you will learn some startling facts and helpful tips.* Alzheimer's is not a normal part of the aging process. * There is a protein that triggers brain cell growth to stop your brain from shrinking.* How to identify when senior moments occur too often to be normal.* When to take action to prevent a downward spiral of dementia.Author Sandra Pye, specializes in Dementia Prevention and Brain Health.

If Dad, a farmer, didn't have dinner cooked when she got home at 6:00 pm, Mother jumped in and cooked dinner for all of us.To save money, Mother spent many hours after dinner sewing garments for us girls. I recall many nights getting up to find her still at the sewing machine at 1:00 am; determined to finish a skirt or a blouse for one of us to wear to school the next morning. I remember her coming home sometimes talking about her supervisor catching her dozing on the job and how hard it was to stay awake.As an adult, I recognize the sacrifices that Mother made for us. As a role model, she taught us the value of hard work, perseverance, and, family. However tired Mother may have been she was always kind, loving and patient.Looking back, I recognize that lack of sleep may have put Mother in the path of dementia and Alzheimer's.I Continued to Be in DenialWe first noticed Mother having mild memory problems in early 2004 but accepted it due to her age.
